I love my parents, but getting them to try out a new restaurant can be like pulling teeth. *sigh*

First of all, they dislike Western food so Italian, Spanish, Tex/ Mex, etc are out of the question. (Well, it's not like they won't go if I INSIST... but I know they won't enjoy it as much if there's no rice & Asian dishes)

Also, they seem to think that THAT place in SS2 (Wang Chiew) or THE OTHER place in Paramount (Loong Foong) are the best by far* and usually refuse to go anywhere else.(* For no frills everyday dining)

Anyway, after some (minor) arm twisting, I managed to convince them that we should try out Long Table, a fairly new non Halal Nyonya restaurant in the SS7/ Kelana Jaya area:

Outside Long Table....

Long Table is located in the corner lot of the fairly new Block D of Plaza Glomac (which is across the road from the original office blocks).

Actually, it is REALLY easy to find once you know where it is, but we went round a couple of times before figuring it out (I have attached a map at the bottom of my post, so that hopefully you can find it more easily)

Since there were only 3 of us, we didn't get to eat many things but I'll list them in order of how much I liked them:- OK LAH: Kacang Botol with Belacan (RM 12)

Fried four angle beans....

While the kacang botol (four angled beans) were fresh and crunchy, they fried it with too much sambal belacan so it was a tad too salty.(Fedback to the restaurant.... Hopefully they will adjust this)

- NICE: Inche Kabin (RM 16)

Nyonya style fried chicken....

A good effort at the traditional Nyonya styled fried chicken - well marinated chunks of tender chicken, fragrant with spices and slightly crisp on the outside.

- YUMMY!: Gulai Tumis / Assam Fish (RM 20)

Yummy Assam fish....

The fish was fresh (good) but what really sold it was the wonderful sauce - great balance of sour/spicy infused with the aromatic but not overpowering fragrance of spices.(Went so well with the rice)

Worth a mention are the drinks we tried, the Nutmeg Cooler (RM 4) and the Leong Fun (RM 2.50):

Refreshing drinks....

They had a nice home made taste, not too sweet and were really refreshing. :)(I thought the prices were really decent too)

The friendly manager/ boss lady gave us some of their Cekodok Pisang to try:

My cekodok....

As we munched on the fluffy and slightly crisp balls of cekodok**, she explained that we should try to come back on Sundays as that's when they usually prepare their special Nasi Ulam (which my dad loves).(** Could have been more banana-ey but it was free lah - No complaints...)

They also have a few interesting pork dishes*** on the regular menu so I'm really looking forward to going back soon.(*** Pork curry! - I wanted to try but my parents wanted fried chicken that night)

OMG I won a TOKL award! Thanks y'all! :)

I can't believe I've managed to keep this up since 2005. Hope you've enjoyed the ride as much as I have. :)
